Longcheng - LS20 Alternate or LS 20A
It has taken quite a bit of time to make the short "movie" about a drive through Longcheng but I finally managed to upload it. It is far from a "piece of art" as it is basically my first attempt to use movie clips but I hope you will get an idea about how Longcheng, which is basically a "one road" village with houses, some shops and a few buildings with a history along the road, looks like. The buildings with a "history" are at the moment mainly used as offices for the newly established Longcheng District Administration and it remains to be see what will happen with these buildings in the near future.
The ride-through starts in the center of the village and from there we drive to the west in the direction of Xam Thong and visit the school a few hundred meters from the western end of Longcheng where the Thai-Lao-Cambodia Brotherhood is providing support to upgrade the dormitory buildings. From here we head back to the center of the village with the restaurant and then head further east passing by the Buddhist temple, the Guesthouse and the Basecamp of the Nam Ngum 3 Hydropower project to go back to Ban Nam Ngone near the Phu Bia Mine.
